Chapter 939 AS174: Relics of the Gods - [Whale Fall in the Wind]
The moment Maple Syrup drank the wine, Yu Xunge saw the determination in the other person's eyes.
Despite being certain countless times during the battle that Maple Syrup was going to kill her, she always harbored the illusion that her opponent was forcing her to quit the game.
Even after leaving the game, the murderous intent in Maple Syrup's eyes remained.
With her last shred of hope shattered, she knew she couldn't simply surrender.
The skill mastery notification, which had been delayed for so long during the battle, finally arrived.
【Nemesis】(SSS): "Fate has pushed us toward each other time and time again, until we decided to kill each other." When you encounter your destined nemesis, your attack power will increase significantly, and all attributes will increase by 10%. When you begin fighting your nemesis, any skill effect from other players that affects either of you, whether positive or negative, will simultaneously link to and affect the other. Nemesis should have a fair duel and fight to their heart's content!
Yu Xunge immediately opened his attribute panel, and all his attributes increased by 10%.
Even though she wasn't fighting Maple Syrup at the moment, and they were even nearly a thousand meters apart, the skill's effect had already taken hold.
Her attack power has not only increased significantly, but her physical damage, magical damage, and critical hit damage have all doubled.
Yu Xunge looked at Maple Syrup with a strange expression, just as the latter was also looking at her with a complicated expression.
Is this a team partnership or a rivalry...?
Yu Xunge looked away from the maple syrup, ignoring it, she had already drunk the [Senhai].
They're not friends anymore...
Her gaze, halfway down, met that of Mist Blade, whose eyes were filled with pure joy and pride.
But is this true...? Has she used [On the Chessboard] again at this moment?
Yu Xunge pursed her lips, and in the blink of an eye, she looked away from the mist blade.
She never invited Mistblade to go to the toilet with her again.
While the audience was still celebrating and reminiscing about the competition, Yu Xunge didn't leave the pillar of light but instead looked at his prize from the fun competition.
—Designate a participating apprentice, and you will copy and permanently possess that apprentice's most frequently used skills in this game.
This reward is far less than the prizes awarded to the champions of previous fun competitions.
It doesn't even have the usual 100 attribute points.
However, whether this reward is good or bad depends entirely on how you choose. If you choose well, it can be even better than the reward from the last individual competition!
She used the [Crime Simulation] observation skill during the time stop to prepare for this moment.
Her chosen target is... crab!
At the very moment the time stop ended, she successfully swapped her "Spring Pumpkin" with the other person's "Thank You for Nature's Gift" using "Time Reversal".
For that one moment of reversal, she didn't even use [Endless Autumn] on herself to remove the curses and debuffs from the other apprentices.
Even so, after the time stop ends, she still has a lot of buffs from the [Waste Guide].
However, when facing Cancer, she was still judged to be at a disadvantage, which allowed her to turn the tide successfully.
Because of a skill that Cancer has been using all along – [The wind doesn't speak].
If she wasn't mistaken, this skill was the reason for the faint sound of wind chimes during the battle.
【The Wind Doesn't Speak】(SSS): "The wind doesn't speak, but you'll always know when it passes by." When you use this skill, if there is wind blowing where you are, it will bring you the buffs currently possessed by the 500 nearest targets. Due to wind damage, the buff effect is only 10% of the original effect. The cooldown is 10 seconds, and the buff lasts for 5 minutes.
Even if the buff's effect is only 10% of the original skill's effect, that's still 500 buffs... the amount is already stacked up.
Moreover, the buff only lasts for 5 minutes, which means this skill will be used frequently.
This is very likely the skill that Crab used most frequently in this game.
Of course, there is another possibility: that this skill from a divine relic simply cannot be copied.
Regardless, based on the skill description of "The Wind Doesn't Speak," she couldn't resist taking a gamble.
After selecting the crab, she heard a loud noise in her ears, the sound of wind and electricity, as well as various voices that she couldn't understand.
There was no response for a full five minutes.
Just as a look of disappointment flashed across Yu Xunge's eyes, as if she had failed, she received a notification.
[Congratulations to player ■■寻歌 for obtaining the SSS-level skill "The Wind Doesn't Speak"]
...
"So the game of the gods was the biggest protector of the wine-drinking song-seeking party!"
"No, it's perfectly legal and compliant. That skill was granted by the remnant will of 'Howl' itself."
Are you sure?
“I’m sure that when I and the Foolish One went to ask, the Captain, the Drummer, and the Bitter Cup were all there. The Captain even questioned it, but that’s the explanation given by the Gods’ Game.”
"It's reasonable and compliant with regulations. The skill of copying divine relics is in accordance with the rules, as long as she can select it and that skill happens to be used most frequently. The only point of contention is that this skill clearly requires the combination of [Whale Fall in the Wind] to be used, but there is no problem when copying it with Wine and Song."
Why?
"I said it, because the remaining will of 'Howling' agreed."
"Captain, you should be secretly thrilled. If [Whale Fall in the Wind] hadn't been downgraded to SSS rank because it fell into Crab's hands, the skill you got today while enjoying wine and song would be at the 'Howling' rank."
"Didn't you two beat him up when the captain questioned you?!"
"??? What are you hitting me for? I'd complain even if the captain doesn't."
Feiju watched helplessly as Qihua walked away with a cold face. He asked Yudun in disbelief, "If I remember correctly, he ran faster than you just now, didn't he?"
"?" Yu Dun gave Fei Ju a look that said, "You're really unreasonable." "Who ran away? I just went to see what was going on."
After saying that, Yu Dun left.
Boiling Orange: "..."
Mangmang: "Clown."
Daigo: "Who is it?"
Miner: "I won't say."
Boiling Orange: "..."
...
When half of the audience had left, Yu Xunge flew down from the pillar of light. She dodged the crab that pounced on her with a swift movement.
"Give me back my skills! Who wants that pumpkin?!"
The crab dodged the grapefruit that was attacking it with a quick movement.
Grapefruit said menacingly, "Give me back [Whale Fall in the Wind] first!"
While dodging the attacks from Crab and Grapefruit, Yu Xunge asked, "Are you forming a team for the competition? Do you have one?"
Crab and Grapefruit's eyes visibly flickered. They were in a group, but it wasn't a good one. They had just made a verbal agreement with other apprentices who weren't in groups. In short, they had just made up the numbers. They were a weak team.
Yu Xunge said, "Wouldn't it be better if we settled the score after the team competition? Look, everyone is so strong. Your [Whale Fall in the Wind] is with Xie Xie, and Xie Xie's [Thank You for Nature's Gift] is with me. It seems that teamwork is the best approach. Whether we can get the items back or not is another matter, but we should make the most of them. The most important thing is...!"
She abruptly stopped and turned around, raising her right hand to the two short men, each about a meter tall, who were chasing after her, making a gesture to stop them from passing. She then spoke her last sentence quickly: "Only by teaming up can we better stab them in the back and take back what's ours."
That's a very strong reason.
Crab and Grapefruit stopped in their tracks at the same time and exclaimed in unison, "Let's team up!"
